Male Athlete of the Week: Jake Armstrong, Highland High School, football (video)

Highland's Jake Armstrong is excited about earning a scholarship to attend Division II Pace University to play football.

The senior, who is also a member of the baseball and soccer squads at Highland, has been told by Pace coaches to practice a little bit of everything in preparation for the jump to the next level. Armstrong handled kickoffs, extra points and field goals for the Huskies, and will be concentrating on just football athletically, as he gets set to study political science and government academically.

Much of the $50,000 annual cost to attend Pace covered by his scholarship will be academic money. Armstrong is also the Highland senior class president.
